I bought the tool below, & I have not yet figured out the feeds & speeds to make it work.
This is a 6”, 45° single angle cutter on an R8 stub arbor. My machine is a 220V, 3 phase, 3HP knee mill.
The first time I used it, I was trying to put a bevel on 1” mild steel plate. I had thought to try cuts of about .025”, but the tool set up could not handle it. I was barely able to make cuts of about .007”.
The cutting tool would stall in the work & the mill was not happy about it. It was about this time that the drive V-belt in the head of the knee mill was damaged, & my attempt to use this tool may have contributed to the damage of this belt.
The cutting tool is HSS & made in USA. The stub arbor is a Bison. Both were quite expensive.
